Abstract

While the Cloud computing paradigm is maturing and gaining wide acceptance, topics like Quality of Service assurance and resource monitoring will remain active fields of investigation and research. In this paper, we identify characteristics of the monitoring infrastructure in Cloud environments and we present a new architectural approach. The proposed mechanism is spanning across different levels of the infrastructure, providing monitoring data from the application, virtual and physical infrastructure as well as energy efficiency related parameters. Apart from the collection mechanism, we present a monitoring management and storage framework which lies above the infrastructure layer. By exploiting open source APIs combined with custom components we have come up with a generic yet efficient solution, applicable to public, private and hybrid Cloud scenarios.
